Twirl frozen yogurt shop comes to Boulder with cool design

Most froyo shops have a certain sanitized and hyperactive "Kids! Welcome!" feel to them, which is OK. But Twirl seems like a place even an adult could enjoy.

We don’t spend a lot of time musing over frozen yogurt shops on Colorado Table – to sum-up the Colorado froyo experience in a phrase: They came, they saw, they conquered – but Twirl Boulder, a new one in the People’s Republic, looks so cool we could not resist.

We like, too, that the place uses only milk from Colorado cows in its products, and includes both mochi and popping boba in its list of toppings.

The groovy froyo temple, on the edge of downtown, is holding a five-day grand opening Sept. 17-21, complete with music, giveaways, fundraisers and more. In addition, the shop is the site for the Boulder County launch of LevelUp, a free app that lets people use their cellphones to pay for purchases.
